Ferrari screwed Charles. Well done Carlos, Lando & Lewis. Russell destroyed his tyres reaching Lando and that was it. If there was another lap there might've been some more fireworks. Special mention - Ocon, what a great overtake - pity the car died. Verstappen might've been up there if they had kept him skating on ice for a few more laps.

Credit to Charles. They sacrificed him and he did what the team asked despite being a racer. Sainz owes him.

Nah, better when they fight for their place. Better for fans.

LH managed the tyres better. No way they would've switched places with a minimum podium.

Annoyed the crap out of me when they told him to leave a 3s and then 5s gap. Might've been different had he also stopped with the Mercs.

Carlos talking to Zak in the background... you owe me boss!

The strategy worked but it's a shame to have to do it like that. Charles will not be happy.

Bro they coasted for 55 laps. If RBR wasn't do terrible it would've been even worse.
Had Merc not made that pitstop this would've been a race to forget. Unless you like a procession to the finish line, I dunno what you are arguing about.
that was an entertaining race all around.
when the front runners were managing tyres the mid and back markers were keeping things entertaining.
I feel bad for Ocon he deserved better.
GR coocked his breaks and Fronts a little and that is why he went off. I dont feel bad for him.
but it is amazing to have a different constructor on the top step.
going into this race there were only 3 drivers who scored in every race this year, ALO, VER and HAM. now there are only 2.
now on to Japan. where we will see if this new technical directive made an impact or if this was just a track specific issue for RB

It's not going to affect the next race, as much as it's needed...Singapore is known for being out of the ordinary
I think you are right. I want more of this though.
Nope. Satisfied by that race. Honestly didn't know who was going to win it until George binned it - good to have one of those for a change!
Normal service must resume next week, though :-D
post race show did a nice replay. pretty cut and dry causing a collision.
also showed something more of the George crash. and I take back what I said. he didnt cook the tyres or brakes, he followed lando into the wall and hit it harder. still dont geel bad for him though it was driver error and he owns up to that as well
